IPC: G05D11/13
Filed: 2003-02-05
Abstract: A measurement system (200) is disclosed comprising a Coriolis flow meter (222) and a control system (224). A base fluid (250) is first flowed through the Coriolis flow meter. The Coriolis flow meter measures a density of the base fluid and transmits a base fluid density measurement to the control system. A  proppant (252) is then added to the base fluid to create a fracture fluid (202). The fracture fluid is then flowed through the Coriolis flow meter. The Coriolis flow meter measures a density of the fracture fluid and transmits a fracture fluid density measurement to the control system. The control system determines an amount of proppant in the fracture fluid based on the base fluid density measurement, the fracture fluid density measurement, and a density of the proppant.

Abstract: A method and a device for driving by means of simultaneously striking and vibration of an element that is in contact with or surrounded by a material mass, particularly a stratum of earth, the element either comprising a stamping plate that is in surface contact with the material mass in order to compact said material, or comprising an elongate object such as a pile or a tongue or a packing implement, which shall be driven into or taken out of the material mass. An energy source, e.g. a striking hammer or a vibrator, is caused to directly or indirectly apply impulses to the stamping plate in order to drive this towards or away from the material mass. The vibrating device is adjustable to the desired oscillation frequency which may be in the vicinity of the natural frequency for a system, defined by the element, the area of the material mass engaged by the element, and the vibrating device. In the case of driving an elongate element into the material mass the resonance frequency may be lowered in relation to the natural frequency for compacting the material mass around the elongate element in the final stage of driving in the elongate element, or an overtone thereof.

Title: Self-calibrating dielectric property-based switch
Inventor: SUDOLCAN DAVID C
IPC: H03K17/96
Filed: 2004-05-27
Abstract: A self-calibrating touch sensor generally includes a dielectric switch pad in electrical communication with a controller. A forcing function waveform is delivered to the dielectric switch pad. The step response waveform of the dielectric switch pad is then monitored by the controller to detect changes in the dielectric properties of the dielectric switch pad. Upon startup of a system in which the self-calibrating touch sensor is embedded or upon detection of an event indicative of a persistent change in the dielectric environment about the dielectric touch pad, the controller processes the step response waveform to determine the time constant of the circuit comprising the dielectric switch pad. The determined time constant is stored as baseline value by the controller. The controller then monitors the step response waveform for temporary changes from the stored value, indicative of a key press event.
